>mail-in voting
I live in Washington state. It's 100% mail-in voting. NO option to in-person vote, other than visit a handful of sites that print a ballot, then insert it into the "count if needed" stack.
Before 100% mail-in voting:
>vote in person
>physically show up
>actual human checks your ID
>you physically sign the voter role
>get physical ballot
>fill out ballot
Now
>ballot mailed to an address you choose, including out of state or out of country
>somebody fills out ballot
>only way to verify it's you is the signature on outside of return envelope
I spent 2 election cycles as an election observer and watched the signature process up close
tl;dr: it's a scam
The county says "we are trained by State Patrol in signature verification".
That's technically true. BUT _contract_ workers do the signature verification. County employees don't do any of the actual ballot counting.
I watched several contract workers do ballot / signature verification.
They have a 4-column display.
>top of each of each column is ballot signature
>below are most recent signature examples they have (driver license, etc)
There are 4 columns displayed, meaning they are working on 4 different signatures on one screen.
I timed several examples. They took less than 2 seconds to do 4 signatures. Less than 1/2 second per signature. I could barely look at a ballot signature and then look at the first sample signature before SPACE and all 4 were approved.
I saw signature verification contractors with their head turned, looking away. SPACE, all 4 approved.
The whole thing is a fucking scam.
Wait until you learn about "ballot curing". They can change your vote and you'll never know.
